This is fantastic advice. I've never thought about looking into Sinatra first. I'll definitely be checking out resources for this. Anything you'd recommend before I start my search?
Looks like a good time to join railscasts. Might have to look into Padrino now. Thanks for the info. From a quick search, I couldn't find anything more recent than 2 years old for Sinatra, so net tuts might have to do. Thanks again.
To understand Sinatra, it's best to start with understanding Rack. Railscasts Pro has a good video on it. http://railscasts.com/episodes/317-rack-app-from-scratch
